SKV Premier Soccer

2025-2026 Season

SKV Premier teams are formed by age, ability, tryouts, and have assigned coaches. Teams will practice twice a week and play games in Kansas City on the weekends (depending upon the level of competitiveness and league enrolled). 

  • Additional Opportunities & Benefits

    U18-U19 Elite Competition: U8-U12 teams participate in Heartland League. U13-U19 boys can try out for National Academy League (NAL) teams, while girls have the opportunity to join Development Player League (DPL) teams.

  • Team Formation

    Our goal is to form teams with players who have similar abilities and experience at the same level of play. ID Sessions, age group evaluations and tryouts will be used to determine a team’s make up, from year to year.  SKV Coaches are evaluated and assigned by our Director of Coaching to best match their individual credentials, experience, and strengths.  


    Sporting Kaw Valley offers two different types of competitive/ premier teams (“Local” and “United” based teams) for both male and female soccer players. Local teams are generally for U8-U9 age groups. For United teams, players will practice in two locations to make travel fair for all players.


    Our intention is to field at least one “United” team in every age group from U10-U19 in the both the Boys & Girls Premier Divisions. Multiple teams will be formed at every level where there are enough players.


  • ID Sessions, Age Group Evaluations & Tryouts

    ID Sessions are open to any player from any club and will begin the last week of March.


    Age group evaluations are open to any player from any club and will begin the last week of March or early April.


    Tryouts will be held in June after State Cup to complete team formation.

  • National Academy League for SKV Elite Boys

    SKV Elite Boys teams have joined the National Academy League (NAL). As a club we strive to improve and offer our players the opportunity to compete at a higher level and provide a platform for our players to showcase their development and talent. The NAL gives us the opportunity to compete with some of the top regional clubs as well as give our players another pathway for development. U13 and U14 Elite Boys teams will be participating in the fall/spring, and the U15-U19 Elite Boys team will play in the Spring.

  • Development Player League for SKV Elite Girls
